My and my friend (both Hispanic) walked up to the register to check out and get ice cream when The younger man worker yelled "I saw you throw Somthing away" "what are you chewing" after saw me throw Somthing away (a toothpick) and saw me chewing (gum) he then accused me of "sampling" their product after looking at me through the cameras the whole time I was in the store and made my friend go get her pack of gum from her backpack across the store to prove it was hers and not from the store ‚he then gave a half asked "apology " it made us feel uncomfortable as we never expected to be treated that way in our hometown and me and my friend still had the decency to put back the candy but we will never go there again even though we have been going here since we were little girls. it broke our hearts. The situation was handled very poorly. So don't go to the candy vault after lunch if you have a tooth pick, don't throw anything away in there trash can because they'll asume it's their product, don't chew gum or anything chewable or just don't go there at all.

We were pretty disappointed. They were out of a lot of things and very low on the rest. A whole different experience years ago when I went there. Also, the girl at the register was almost robotic. This is a candy store where a lot of kids come. You need someone in there more upbeat!

This place is pretty vintage as we walked in a lot of the candy was out of stock so not much of variety to pick from. My daughter did get a scoop of cookies and cream and to her taste it was amazing tasted freshly. The service was okay not invite full kind of like blah the service could have been more fun and exciting just didn't feel that. The vibe was pretty quiet and chill and like I mention not a lot of items were not stocked so we weren't in the store for too long.

Limited inventory of stale candy. Owner of the store is the candy nazi. Made a scene about not putting back a candy in the right spot. Normally candy store owners are nice people. Not here! I would never go in there or recommend anyone spend money here. Maybe they sell the store to someone who is more like the Willy Wonka advertising they display. Zero stars.

We stop in every time we're in Sonora and get the kids some treats. Today our middle child was having a tough day.. Steve (I believe he's the owner) went above and beyond to brighten our child's day. This place has an awesome selection of candy and vintage candies.. I highly recommend you check this place out if you're in town!

The owner or whoever was at the counter probably should’ve not opened something kids will be in very despicable and rude to customers and had and argument with my nephew who is only 3 like what kind of business you run there? Will definitely not come back

Has lots of vintage candy. The rice candy was stale and fudge was not fresh.

The Candy Vault, a place for nostalgia! Whether you visit to just look/admire or to purchase from their HUGE variety of candies/treats definitely check it out...everything from candy cigarettes to wax candies, lots of chocolate and ice cream. Some have stated the staff were mean, I/we didn't find that to be the case. There's even an actual bank vault inside the store, which house's the Willy Wonka section. Give them a try
Absolutely love this place. The homemade dry ice candy is freaking amazing. Who knew? Ice cream is super tasty, and the owners/workers are always extremely friendly. My kids love a visit and when family or friends from out of town come to visit, the Candy Vault is always top of the list of things to do. Love ya Steven and fam-a-lam.

Today I went in for an ice cream and the woman behind the counter looked at me and put her head down to look at a laptop. The apparent owner walked right by me twice and ignored the fact that his counter help was incompetent and never said a word to me or her. I sarcastically thanked them for their lousy service and walked out. The counter girl just gave me a dirty look. Please don't bother the staff at Candy Vault, Sonora.

Such a cute and fun candy shop with tons of interesting and old school candies. The willy wonka room is so cool! Took two little where that loved picking out items. We were in town for a wedding and this was a quick easy stop on a Sunday morning when they opened on the Main Street. Definitely worth a visit for some nostalgia as well as sweets!

Looks like they have some nice selections in here but I never got to actually purchase or try any of it. The service was simply not there....We waited to be helped for about 10 minutes with no greeting from the employees and no acknowledgment whatsoever. We realized they were busy and short staffed...and waited giving them the benefit of the doubt that we would be helped soon enough...but then when the gentlemen behind the counter finally looked up at us and the other waiting customers...he was flat, not welcoming, and didn't seem to care that we were there. We left without getting anything.
